My main memory of Delaware is an event born of a sad summer vacation.
My extended family on my father’s side goes to Ocean City, Maryland each summer. When Kerry and I were little and our family lived in Virginia, these summer get-togethers were easier to attend. Once we moved to Texas, trips to the Maryland coast were few.
The annual trips resumed when I was in Junior High and our family had moved to New York. The main draw of Ocean City wasn’t salt water taffy at Candy Kitchen or pounds of crab at Phillip’s – it was spending time with our cousins. The two of them – Colleen and Christine – were a year younger than Kerry and I so we matched up perfectly.
One summer, though, Colleen arrived at the beach sick. Colleen’s lungs were historically mutinous, but this summer she was diagnosed with both mono and pneumonia. She would have to go back home to the Annapolis area and leave me with Kerry and Christine at the beach. Devoid of my partner, I didn’t want to do any of the traditional “Ocean City Summer” activities.
My father, unwilling to be defeated by my teenage gloom, instituted some new traditions. We’d never taken the short drive from Ocean City to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, so this was the perfect summer to head up. Three kids were packed in the backseat of the car and we drove north through sand dunes and fancy beach houses.
We had dinner in Rehoboth and then walked around the adorable downtown area. I bought a silver and turquoise ring that I found quite fancy at that age. Most of my jewelry was from a chain store at the mall, so this was special.
Rehoboth was lovely. I missed Colleen a lot that summer, but Rehoboth helped me forget for a night.
